Butter Honey Cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Fresh Ground Cornmeal or Flour Fresh ground is ideal, but if you don't have a grinder, you can use a whole grain flour.

- 1 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 tsp. Sea Salt

- In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Make a well in the center and add the remaining ingredients then stir to incorporate. Stir gently so you don’t over mix, but make sure all is blended together.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm with more butter and honey!
Notes
Yummm!!! It has turned full on fall here with cooler days and downright cold nights. We are keeping a fire going most of the time and pulling out the sweaters that had been shoved to the back of the dresser. In fact, it’s perfect weather for big pots of chili and delicious cornbread.
Unfortunately, chili isn’t something I have yet mastered. Yesterday I made a pot that was pretty good–even if I do say so myself. But it was mostly due to the can of salsa that I added. Even if I’m not great at making chili, I have found a yummy cornbread recipe that is more of a “whole” food.
What do I mean by “Whole food”? Simply that it has whole, or “God-Made” ingredients in it. It does not have a lot of sugar or white flour. It truly tastes fabulous!
Pull out your aprons and let’s do some baking today!

Kayla, your cornbread sounds delicious and I will try it using the freshly ground corn and spelt! Can hardly wait.
Here is my whole family's favorite chili recipe from Southern Living. Until we found this one my daughter, daughter-in-law and I were constantly trying chili recipes…..this one is our go-to favorite! Dawn blends her tomatoes, which I did not do this last time I made but I think next time I will give them a pulse or two in the blender. We crumble up the hamburger REALLY fine.

Do you make a whole bunch of this and then freeze it in batches? I’m glad you shared this Vanessa! I was just wondering how to make enchilada sauce the other day. Do you have a recipe for green enchilada sauce? By the way, we have the same kitchen counter!!!
Good morning! You mention butter and honey in your recipe but I don’t see what the measurements are. Cups/tablespoons/sticks?
